Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 166. Byun Gyeongbaek Kidnapping (1)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Byun Gyeongbaek was an unpleasant man, but until now Leah had at least recognized his abilities, since he had kept the Kurkans at bay for so long on the western frontier. But it had all been a lie.

More, she had discovered that Ishakan had not only ascended the throne in a dominance struggle, but had gathered other Kurkans to rebel against the tyranny of the old King. It made her look at him with new eyes. She wanted to know more about Ishakan. She wondered what his life had been like, and how he had become what he was.

“……”

Slowly, Leah opened her eyes. She felt as if she had been sleeping for a long time. Morga had told her she wouldnt wake up for three or four days, so she guessed it had been at least that long.

Reaching for a jug of water on the nightstand, she found a box on it tied with a pretty bow, and a note beside it. She drank first, then picked up the box and note. There was only one word written on the paper.

[Gift.]

Leah smiled at the fierce handwriting, then untied the bow and opened the box. The swan feather quills inside were much smaller than the one she had used in Ishakans office. Picking one up, she laughed.

It was exactly the right size for her hand. He must have thought of this gift after seeing her write with his quill.

Leah couldnt make herself put it down for a long time. She felt so incredibly happy. And maybe this would be the last time. After so much joy, she worried that a descent back into hell was inevitable.

Leah shook her head, trying to shake away the anxiety. She kept having these bad thoughts. She set the quill on the nightstand.
